RotoBaller Dynasty Ranking: WR73

Dynasty Analysis: Last season, Rashod Bateman flashed some of that talent that earned him the 27th overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft as the Ravens' wideout produced six double-digit fantasy weeks between Week 5 and Week 15. In that 10-game stretch, Bateman produced 510 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 29 receptions, averaging 11.6 fantasy points.

This offseason, the Ravens added DeAndre Hopkins, who should pencil in opposite Zay Flowers in three receiver sets, allowing for Bateman to move into the slot, where he posted a 0.324 separation score, second to Kalif Raymond, and significantly higher than he managed when lined up out wide (0.183). Against man coverage, only Flowers and Ladd McConkey created more separation than Bateman's 0.282 mark.

Now, continuing with the slot production, Bateman averaged a remarkable 4.00 yards per route run, 0.23 targets per route run, and a win rate of 23.5% per Fantasy Points Data. The addition of Hopkins to this receiver's room is a positive for Bateman, who is coming off a career-best season that saw Bateman accumulate 756 receiving yards and nine touchdowns during the regular season.

According to The 33rd Team, in 2024, 77.8% of Bateman's receptions (35 of 45) yielded either a first down or a touchdown, the most among any pass catcher with more than 40 catches. Bateman, A.J. Brown, and Darnell Mooney were the only players to top 75%.

In the playoffs, fantasy managers caught another glimpse of what could be catching six of seven targets for 90 yards and finishing both playoff contests with a touchdown grab. In those contests, Bateman's average depth of target was 15.1 yards, he earned a 20% first-read target share, and he accounted for 106 air yards, the 14th-most.
